Chapter 421: The Problem of the Ownership of the Twenty Cities
Not long after Gu Chengxuan mobilized his troops, the news spread to Mingzhou City.
At this time, Bai Yutian was listening to everyone's opinions and discussing how to attack the rebels.
After learning the news, everyone was furious.
Dashun's move is clearly a provocation to them. If they don't respond, it will make the enemy's arrogance even more arrogant.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard, attack Yuzhou, and go straight to Yuzhou City."
"The general is also willing to go..."
"Fenghuo Camp suffered heavy losses this time. It would be unkind not to avenge this!"
The crowd's voices were loud and the crowd was furious.
After Bai Yutian's majestic eyes glanced over, these people became calmer.
"Hit me with what?"
"We don't have the advantage in equipment now, nor do we have the advantage in numbers."
"Even if we attack Yuzhou, the rebels still have many dangers waiting for us. Are you sure we can eliminate them all?"
After hearing Bai Yutian's reminder, everyone calmed down.
The general and deputy generals of Fenghuo Camp were severely wounded and almost died, and Fenghuo Camp also suffered heavy losses, which made all the soldiers of Fenghuo Camp have uncontrollable anger.
If it weren't for the military orders, they would have killed them directly to avenge Jing Ling and others.
But as Bai Yutian said, their current strength does not have an advantage.
If you act rashly, you may cause greater losses.
Bai Yutian also sighed. Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, fighting on both sides had consumed too much money and it would definitely be difficult to make up for it in a short time.
And with Dashun's big move this time, could it be that they are planning to have a decisive battle with them?
"If we take the initiative to attack, we still have a chance to gain an advantage."
"Now that the rebels are mobilizing their troops, our plan has failed and we have to make preparations again."
Bai Yutian is extremely cautious, Gu Chengxuan is a difficult opponent to deal with.
Such decisiveness is much more powerful than Yu Xiang and others from Dachuan Kingdom.
What's more, the rule of the Dachuan Kingdom is actually not much different from the rule of the Great Zhou Kingdom in the past few years. The high-ranking officials and nobles stayed up all night to have fun and exploit the people at the bottom.
Therefore, Kou Wang and others were able to capture Yangzhou from Nanchuan Prefecture so smoothly.
On the way forward, there were almost no battles, and most people chose to surrender voluntarily.
But Dashun Country is not. According to the information Bai Yutian has, the living conditions of the people in Dashun Country are not bad, and it can even be said to be much improved than before.
Therefore, many people in Dashun supported the Kingdom of Dashun and were hostile to the Kingdom of Zhou.
"Continue to investigate and report any action to me as soon as possible."
"yes."
As soon as the front-foot scouts left, another soldier from the back-foot came to report.
"Your Majesty, generals, there is news from the front line."
"The rebel Gu Chengxuan sent a team of envoys to meet with him, saying that there were important matters to be negotiated."
Bai Yutian sneered and waved his sleeves.
"Humph, you sent an envoy again. Are you planning to sue for peace again?"
"Let them go back and tell Gu Chengxuan that unless they surrender, Da Zhou will not fight with their envoys."
These people have done this drama of sending envoys several times.
Now, Bai Yutian doesn't even bother to meet these people.
The soldier hesitated slightly, his expression a little unnatural.
"Well, Your Majesty, according to the intelligence, these people are not asking for peace or surrender, but something else."
"Um?"
…
The envoy from the Dashun Kingdom will arrive in Mingzhou City in seven days, and Bai Yutian has also made preparations to receive the envoy here in advance.
"Your Majesty, what is Gu Chengxuan's plan? He mobilized troops to the front line, but instead of launching an attack, he sent an envoy."
"Besides, it would be a bit childish to use chess to decide the ownership of the city."
Zhao Chuxue dragged her cheeks, her face full of doubts.
Bai Yutian stretched and chuckled: "In any case, the Zhou Dynasty's military strength is relatively weak now, so it would be cost-effective to obtain the city without fighting."
Dian Wei scratched his head with a dull expression, "But ten cities are almost worth the entire Yuzhou."
"Gu Chengxuan, where does he have the confidence to think that he can definitely win?"
Dashun Kingdom selected ten of the best chess players from its own territory.
And there was news that he was going to compete with the chess players from Da Zhou, a total of ten games.
The winning side can obtain a city from the losing side.
The envoys of the Dashun Kingdom were actually composed of these outstanding chess players.
They will compete on the chess track in Mingzhou to decide the ownership of twenty cities.
